I Cultivate Passively Chapter 55 - Drawing Passive Skills Again

Chapter 55: Drawing Passive Skills Again

The Spirit Nurturing Pill was a type of medicinal pill specially developed for breaking through to the Soul Altar realm.
It contained a trace of spirituality that could allow the cultivator to enter a semi-enlightenment state.
In this special state, one could slowly guide the spiritual power in the body and transform into the power of the divine soul. Then, one could use the converted soul power to forge their Soul Altar.
Therefore, the more abundant the spiritual power, the more spiritual power could be converted.
The success rate of forging the Soul Altar would be higher.!!
And it was precisely because of this that the Spirit Nurturing Pill was very precious no matter in every sect.
This was practically a key to the Soul Altar realm.
Of course, there weren’t only two methods in this world. The cultivators had summarized these two methods, and they had the highest success rate.
Before the Spirit Nurturing Pill had been created, people had wanted to break through to the Soul Altar realm.
A small number of talented geniuses were born with strong spiritual power, and they comprehended the method to transform spiritual power into soul power on their own.
This was exclusive to monsters, and other ordinary people could not imitate it at all.
As for other ordinary people, they could only slowly grind and continuously refine the spiritual power in their bodies.
If they refined their spiritual power to the limit, they would naturally be able to break through.
‘Naturally be able to break through?’
Seeing this, Zhou Feng was a bit confused. What did it mean to be able to break through naturally?
Water overflowing? Moreover, why did the process of breaking through to the Soul Altar realm feel a bit like refining Qi into soul power?
This book only briefly introduced some knowledge about the Soul Altar realm, but it did not mention anything more specific.
‘In other words, now I must either obtain a visualization technique or a Spirit Nurturing Pill…’
Zhou Feng frowned. He only had two methods of breaking through in front of him.
One of the most promising ones should be obtaining a Spirit Nurturing Pill.
If he could survive and complete the sect’s mission, he should be able to obtain a Spirit Nurturing Pill, but he felt that it wasn’t reliable.
‘Then… the Soul Altar is actually divided into grades?’
Flipping to the back, Zhou Feng discovered that there were actually grades after successfully forging the Soul Altar.
After successfully forging the Soul Altar, there were different grades according to the size and method of forging.
A Grade-1 Soul Altar was the highest. Legend had it that there was only one way if one wanted to cast a Grade-1 Soul Altar. That was to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth and comprehend a set of techniques that were most suitable for one’s self. A Soul Altar would be formed by itself then!
However, this method had not been successful for a very long time.
The second method was to use a visualization technique. The Soul Altar that was cast could basically reach the Grade-2 to Grade-5.
The last was to rely on medicinal pills, which could generally only forge Grade-6 to Grade-9 Soul Altars.
Grade-9 Soul Altars were the weakest ones, and they could only nurture one soul artifact.
In other words, if you wanted to nurture another soul artifact or even a divine artifact, you could only give up on the first soul artifact.
Besides nurturing soul artifacts, Grade-9 Soul Altars could mobilize the weakest soul power.
Of course, because the Grade-9 Soul Altars were the weakest, they were also the easiest to forge.
Even some old cultivators refined their spiritual power for a lifetime, and in the end, they succeeded in breaking through before their lifespan ended.
This book stated that at least one Grade-8 Soul Altar had to be forged. Otherwise, they would definitely regret it.
A Grade-8 Soul Altar could store at least three soul artifacts and nurture them at the same time.
He quickly finished reading this thin book.
After reading it, Zhou Feng finally had some understanding of the Soul Altar realm.
‘Wait! The Tri-Gu disciples actually cultivate together with Gu. Then… is there a method to break through by relying on the Gu in one’s body!?’
At that moment, he suddenly thought of this because he had previously relied on the Demon-Devouring Gu and its mystical ability, aka reverse-feeding, to reach the 9th Level of Qi Condensation.
Breaking through to the Soul Altar realm should also be possible through the Demon-Devouring Gu!
Unfortunately, even if there was such a technique, he hadn’t come in contact with it.
Forget it! He’d better go back first!
After understanding the relevant information about the Soul Altar realm, Zhou Feng didn’t have any thoughts of staying here.
At present, the most pressing matter was still facing the sect mission three days later.
Now, Zhou Feng planned to return to Bitter Bamboo Peak and take a look at Senior Brother Sun’s residence first.
He remembered that Senior Brother Sun had actually been able to hide his cultivation.
He had clearly been at the 9th Level of Qi Condensation. However, hadn’t he attacked Zhou Feng, the latter would never have seen through him.
And that small knife, the material wasn’t ordinary either.
Perhaps Senior Brother Sun had encountered some fortuitous encounter, so he could go and investigate.
Since Senior Brother Sun was already gone, the rest of his things would belong to Zhou Feng!
At Bitter Bamboo Peak…
It was still the same quiet, eerie atmosphere.
After Zhou Feng returned to Bitter Bamboo Peak, he also received the rewards from the martial arts competition.
First of all, all the assets of the opponents he had fought before belonged to him now.
Of course, that was the case for those who were dead. As for those who were not, they would still hand over half to him.
He instantly understood why the martial arts competition was so dangerous and why so many people were participating.
He had fought against many people, and there were a few whose cultivation levels were inferior to his.
They were also inferior to him in terms of battle experience, but they still didn’t fear death.
‘So the winner’s rewards were so generous?’
After the sect converted these people’s properties into Spirit Stones, they handed them over to Zhou Feng.
Of course, the sect would also charge for this process, which was also a common practice.
‘So many Spirit Stones!?’
He simply counted them. The martial arts competition had actually earned him more than 500 Spirit Stones!?
Qian Shang seemed to have given him 10 Spirit Stones as a protection fee before.
With so many Spirit Stones, it should be enough for him to draw a few passive skills.
Without hesitation, Zhou Feng began to cultivate in his room.
After cultivating until nighttime, he would go to Senior Brother Sun’s residence to investigate.
And tonight, he could carry out the hunting plan.
Zhou Feng held a Spirit Stone in one hand and continuously devoured the Spirit Stone’s pure Spiritual Qi.
At the same time, the progress bar of the skill panel was slowly advancing.
During this process, the Demon-Devouring Gu also joined in the fun, devouring most of the Spiritual Qi that Zhou Feng had devoured.
He did not really care about this as his Spirit Stones were enough to cultivate.
Actually, Zhou Feng felt that cultivating now was no longer of any use.
Even if he continued to use the Demon-Devouring Technique to devour the Spiritual Qi into his body, he was still at the 9th Level of Qi Condensation.
Breaking through to the Soul Altar realm, you ask?
It would be almost impossible for him to do so.
If he continued to absorb the Spiritual Qi, he would only be able to purify his spiritual power a little. There was no other use at all.
He was only absorbing the Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Stone in order to draw a new passive skill.
…
The sky turned dark, and the progress bar on the skill panel was finally full.
In other words, he could now draw passive skills!
“Draw!” he ordered without any hesitation.
